Paint odors are one of the slightly devious dark sides of redecorating: they are unobtrusive enough to not be a major concern while all the painting and repairing is being carried out, yet creep up and can easily ruin your day when the job is done. And there are few things as frustrating as not being able to sleep in your freshly painted bedroom, where the walls are finally that precise shade of blue you’ve always longed for, because the insidious smell of paint is giving you a terrible headache. Redecorating, repainting, playing with colors are some of the best ways to alter the look and feel of a room to best suit our mood – it would be unfair to allow paint stinks (to call them by their true name) to ruin your fun.

What are we to do about it, then? Firstly, do not despair. There are simple ways to deal with paint odors without having to break the bank, overexert yourself and get mightily annoyed in the process. Another comforting thought: house paints today are definitely not what they were ten or twenty years ago, when there was simply no getting around the smelly paints and primers. There are such things as low-odor and even odorless paints, which – while not being completely stink-free – are nevertheless considerably more easy on the nose than the classic stuff.

Older houses, or houses where water damage has occurred which has been repaired and needs to be sealed, are places where the glossy, modern latex-based paints work much better if they are applied on top of a layer of the smelly stuff. In such cases, the best approach we can take is prevention: plan ahead and use a simple addition to the paint as a means to cut back on the paint stink.

The answer? Vanilla extract. Vanilla is one of the oldest trick in the book when it comes to paint odor removal. It’s a common enough ingredient, easy to obtain and to manage. Add just half a cup to the gallon of paint and you will feel the difference shortly. Vanilla extract does not affect the co color of the paint in any way, so it will not be noticeable visually – and yet its effect on the nasty paint odors will be much appreciated.

If you’ve already applied the paint on the walls are you’re having a hard time walking into the room without getting a headache, the answer is equally simple: avoid leaving any items in the room (rugs, furniture) to prevent them from absorbing the smell. Provide plenty of ventilation, and at the end of the day place a few peeled onions in several bowl filled with cold water. Leave the bowls spread out around the room and you’ll start feeling the difference the very next morning. It may sound silly, but it’s a tested technique and it will allow you to enjoy your newly painted home in no time.

Paint odor may not sound like a big threat, however it is certainly an unpleasant after-effect of most repaint jobs, and one that can have serious consequences unless taken into account and properly dealt with. The source of the typical “paint smell” that lingers on freshly painted walls and leaves us nauseous and riddled with headaches are the VOCs (volatile organic compounds), large amounts of which are found in traditional solvents, paints and protective coatings.

It is therefore important to consider the potential after-effects of traditional oil-based paints and ensure that the indoor space which is about to be repainted can be properly ventilated. However, if you are looking for a more radical alternative, why not go all the way and use an odorless paint? Like its name clearly suggest, an odorless paint (a product of the increasingly sophisticated modern paint fabrication technologies) has a considerably lower concentration of VOCs and is not petroleum-based.

Odorless paints are a definite improvement compared to the old smelly stuff, having a sweeter smell that does not get trapped in furniture, rugs or blankets and is therefore ideal for indoor paint jobs in houses or else in rooms where ventilation is problematic.

Odorless paints are typically extracted from clay (clay-based paint), milk or else limestone. Limestone-based paint is also suitable for painting outside walls as well as inside ones. Odorless paint can be used in virtually any type of environment – from nurseries to rooms used by individuals with respiratory sensitivities to chemical agents and respiratory afflictions such as asthma. This is made possible by the fact that is has a much lower VOC concentration that traditional paint and is not likely to trigger adverse reactions.

Odorless paints are less noxious for the environment and less damaging to the ozone layer. On the whole, they are a smart, modern, risk-free choice.
